Wallpaper - Antwerp Belgium Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Antwerp skyline wallpaper by Michael Tompsett translates the architectural silhouette of the Belgian city into an expressive, watercolor-style composition. Rich purple and dark mulberry tones blend with warm ochre and gold splashes, set against a crisp white background. The horizontal skyline features detailed spires alongside modern structures, grounded by energetic paint splatters and translucent washes along the lower edge. It brings an artistic, graphic focus to a wall while leaving plenty of open space above. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure and produced on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room or home office, we see this design working especially well as a focal accent wall behind a sofa, a low desk, or low shelving. Because the skyline anchors the lower half of the composition and leaves a generous open white area across the upper section, it naturally draws the eye horizontally without overwhelming vertical wall height.

In a library or dedicated study, the combination of architectural forms and painterly splatters adds visual intrigue to a reading nook or main feature wall. We would recommend giving this mural a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall so the full sequence of landmarks, from historic towers to contemporary silhouettes, can stretch out across the room.

Styling it

We suggest balancing the expressive splatter effect and strong purple tones by keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean in form. Low-profile seating or open shelving allows the entire skyline panorama to remain in view.

Warm wood elements, such as natural walnut or darker stained finishes, echo the ochre and amber paint tones within the illustration. Matte black accents or slim metal frames also complement the graphic, defined edges of the architecture. For upholstery and larger textiles, neutral linen tones or muted charcoal work nicely to let the wallpaper carry the main burst of color.

Color combinations

The artwork centers on rich purple, dark mulberry, and warm golden-ochre washes over a clean white ground.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a soft off-white or light warm gray will maintain the open, airy feeling of the upper background. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling out a rich plum, deep aubergine, or dark slate for surrounding joinery or accent elements creates a dramatic, cohesive frame around the mural. Muted brass and warm amber decorative accents will also subtly tie into the gold watercolor details.
